Application filed October 19, 1914. Serial No. 867,459.

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS L. PARMETER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Westport, in the county of Brown, State of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Skate-Runners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in skates and particularly to ice-skates.

The principal object of the invention is to provide an ice-skate of such construction that the runner can be quickly and easily hollow ground.

Another object is to provide a skate runner which can be readily taken apart so that the parts can be sharpened with the ordinary flat file, thus producing a hollow ground runner when the parts are again put together.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of the skate runner made in accordance with my invention, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the runner.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, the runner consists of two parts, 10 and 11, these parts being of the same length and of the same thickness. The

art 10 has its lower portion offset as indicated at 12, this offset extending throughout the entire length of the section. The lower face of the section 10 is beveled as at 13, so that the lower cutting edge is presented for engagement with the ice. The section 11 of the runner has its lower edge similarly bev- Copies of this patent may be obtained for eled as shown at 14. The inner face of the section 10 at the upper end of the offset portion is beveled similarly to the runner face of the said section and is of a depth equal to the thickness of the section 11, said section iitting against the offset portion and having its upper beveled edge 15 fitting snugly thereagainst. A plurality of bolts 16 are passed through the two sections of the runner to clamp them together. When so clamped, a longitudinal Vshaped channel is formed in the bottom of the runner presenting two cutting edges which bite into the ice. When it is desired to sharpen the skate runner, the bolts are removed and the bevel of each of the sections ground down by means of a flat file. With the ordinary skate runner, a round file is used so as to provide a hollow ground ice engaging edge.

Particular attention is called to the offsetting of the section 10 which permits the standards 17 of the runner to be disposed directly over the center of the runner as a unit.

`What is claimed is:

A skate runner comprising a pair of sections, one of which is formed with an offset longitudinally extending portion, the lower edge of the section being beveled, the other section having its lower edge oppositely beveled whereby the combined beveled edges of the sections produce a longitudinal central channel in the runner, the last-mentioned section being seated within the offset portion of the first section, and means detachably securing the sides together.

In testimony whereof, I alix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
